At Upshot Creatives, we specialize in crafting impactful video ad creatives for our ecommerce brand clients. Our mission is simple: empower our clients with compelling narratives that get profitable conversions. If you have a sharp eye for project management, video production, hitting deadlines, and ecommerce advertising, but also thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, then we want you.

Hours: 20 Hours per Week

Pay: $10.00 per hour

Key Responsibilities:

1. Hitting Deadlines: Candidate must be extremely experienced and skilled with project management because they will be managing a complex production process that's specifically tailored for producing videos for ecommerce brands using very high quality footage provided by the agency. Delivering our creatives on time is the most important thing, so high level of urgency is needed during working hours to make sure that everything gets delivered to our clients on time.
2. Project Management Tool Skills: We use a variety of websites and apps in our production process. We use programs like: Monday, Slack, Miro, Frame, Google Drive, etc.
3. Communication: You will be the main point of contact for all clients in your pod, as well as the editors in that pod, so you'll need to be very good at written and spoken English. You'll need to keep communication going, and diligently follow up on messages to make sure that everyone is doing their part and helping to hit our deadlines.
4. Attention-to-detail: You'll be an important part of quality-control, so it's important that you understand our systems super well and make sure that every detail is correct from start to finish. We'll be depending on you to check the quality of our creator's performances for example, so you'll really need a good eye for this kind of stuff.
5. Positive Attitude: Working with clients, creators, and editors on a non-stop conveyor belt of ads can be stressful, so it'll be up to you to keep the mood light and things moving along. If you're easily stressed out, or if you don't have good emotional control, then this is not the role for you. We want a level-headed and hard-working PM who can handle problems on their own as they arise.
